1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Mine have always been on the top. I don’t think it’s critical but that’s just a guess.

 

Thanks. I've noticed that the pads aren't touching the rotors at the bottom as the spring is pushing the pads back, but the pads are touching at the top. I'm hoping that moving them to the top will help them to not touch.

 

KY has a tax credit for solar installs and I have very little shade on my roof. Hmmmm

 

Top.

First, I was corrected when I posted mine with the spring at the bottom. https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...-gen-tundra-today.2558/page-1913#post-3519076
Second, with the wheel rotation, it makes the most sense to have them at the top to release the pad at first point of rotor contact.

 

Great, thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking. Will move the springs.

 

Both

 

@Mr.bee Do me Do me!

 

Both? Am I missing a spring? Should I have a spring on the top and the bottom?

 

No, there's only been one. I've had my truck since I bought it new.

 

@JakeJake

 

2 on one side, none on the other

 

Almost done with fabrication, a couple of days of welding and details and its on to media blast and paint. I'd much rather be doing tundra stuff.

 

So many lines for the eye.... and straight af. Nice work JakeJake

 

@kentuckyMarksman , The only important thing to remember is to grease those pins every couple years or so. If you let it go too long, they seize from rust and you need to drill them out. Don't ask me how I know.

 

My first though was that bird cage in Jurassic Park 3

 

I was thinking Tesla coil to make lightning like they have at the Museum of Science here.

 

hows it sound when you drag your hands across the bars? Everytime i go up stairs i have to drag my hands across the verital posts that hold the handrail. Sorry, too early for technical terms.

 

i'm running both. New brakes came with new hardware, so old springs on bottom, new springs on top.

 

Didn’t want to start another thread on brakes, but just a quick question.

installed an extended rear brake line. Bled all 4 corners and LSPV. I’ve bled the LSPV twice now and pedal feel is coming back instead of blowing through it and grabbing at the bottom. Should I keep bleeding the LSPV or am I SOL?

 

Kinda like this

 

:Rolls up sleeves:

What do you mean by this?

 

I know that the correct order is RR, LSPV, LR, RF, LF. Try it again in that order.

 

how much dripped out? Weight on the rear axle? Lspv might not let much fluid through if the axle is hanging.

 

I've done it this way...

 

I’ve got like 10 of them now from buying brake pads. I put one up and one down on both sides. Factory was just on top.

 

Dap me up too cuhh, without using the pics of me that are around here

 

We need to make the noobs guess what the elders look like.
